defeat of the proud

I kneel before my enemies
My head hung low in shame
For here I am, defeated
In this superficial game
Trying so hard to pretend
That I know what I'm to do
When all along my foolishness
Has robbed me of my due
The struggles I have faced alone
Were hard and bore much pain
Yet in the end I realized
My battle was in vain
Now there's nowhere else to go
The future is unclear
Run as I might, there's no escape
My punishment is here
